No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron

The No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron was a squadron of free Polish fighter pilots that served in the British Royal Air Force from 2 August 1940 to 11 December 1946 during World War II. The squadron was formed in Blackpool, England by surviving members of Poland's air force, which had been either destroyed or chased away following the German invasion of Poland in September-October 1939. The squadron had the highest ratio of enemy aircraft destroyed to their own lost, making them one of the RAF's most successful squadrons during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The squadron was disbanded in 1946 after the end of the war.
